Close-up view of Toby Wong’s expert panel contribution titled “Focus On Impact Instead Of Updates” in the Internal Communications Group Expert Panel within the Forbes Communications Council, authored by group leader Svetlana Stavreva. Toby’s comment reads ““Internal comms too often stays tactical, focused on updates instead of impact. Its purpose is to inform, inspire and drive action by helping employees see how their work connects to company values and priorities. When communication builds shared belief and conviction across teams and silos, it creates shared ownership around purpose and a culture where people understand the same goals. Make decisions aligned with purpose and strategies, and move in the same direction across organizational lines.”.

Wong, of U.S.-based Toby Wong Consulting, featured in the Forbes Communications Council Expert Panel article titled “How To Empower Employees To Tell Your Brand’s Story With Confidence,” published in Forbes on November 18, 2025. Toby’s contribution is #13 titled “Unite Governance And Communication Systems.” It reads: “Real brand risk doesn’t start with employees. It occurs when communications and governance fall out of sync. To prevent narrative drift, anchor shared values and brand voice through training, brand architecture, key messages, tone and feedback systems. When people and purpose align, every story told strengthens trust and brand equity with employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.”
